It's the Eighth one - Pudding for the People by Unity.


I am a little bit later tonight as I sing in a choir and we rehearse on a Wednesday night. I had to choose a beer that might sooth an over used voice so I took a chance with Pudding for the People, a Bread and Butter porter. This is brewed by Unity, a brewery that is so positive in its attitude that it brings a smile to my face whenever I read about them, it is community owned and brews very modern beers indeed.

The beer itself is a joy. It is not as heavy as some porters as it has quite a light feel despite 5.2% alcohol. On the nose there is "rum 'n' raisin" edge to this beer with just a hint of winter spice, cinnamon maybe nutmeg. In the mouth it has a gentle spicy sweetness with a very subtle vanilla edge,  again with dried fruit followed by a lovely old fashioned finish. I could not have picked better to sooth my tired vocal chords.
